On Thursday, June 22, 2023, the DSB
members will meet in a breakout session
to discuss classified strategies for
anticipating the global stresses and
possible conflict due to climate change.
Next, the DSB members will meet in a
plenary session to discuss classified
strategies for anticipating the global

climate change. Following break, the
DSB members will meet in a plenary
session to discuss classified strategies
for anticipating the global stresses and
possible conflict due to climate change.
The meeting will adjourn at 4:00 p.m.
Purpose of the Meeting
The mission of the DSB is to provide
independent advice and
recommendations on matters relating to
the DoD’s scientific and technical
enterprise. The objective of the meeting
is to obtain, review, and evaluate
classified information related to the
DSB’s mission. DSB membership will
meet to discuss the 2023 DSB Summer
Study on Climate Change and Global
Security (‘‘the DSB Summer Study’’).
Meeting Accessibility
In accordance with section 5 U.S.C.
1009(d) and 41 CFR 102–3.155, the DoD
has determined that the DSB meeting
will be closed to the public.
Specifically, the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering,
in consultation with the DoD Office of
the General Counsel, has determined in
writing that the meeting will be closed
to the public because it will consider
matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).
The determination is based on the
consideration that it is expected that
discussions throughout will involve
classified matters of national security
concern. Such classified material is so
intertwined with the unclassified
material that it cannot reasonably be
segregated into separate discussions
without defeating the effectiveness and
meaning of the overall meetings. To
permit the meeting to be open to the
public would preclude discussion of
such matters and would greatly
diminish the ultimate utility of the
DSB’s findings and recommendations to
the Secretary of Defense and to the
Under Secretary of Defense for Research
and Engineering.
Agenda
The meeting will begin on
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 8:15 a.m.
with administrative opening remarks
from Mr. Kevin Doxey, DFO and
Executive Director, and a classified
overview of the objectives of the
Written Statements
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3)
and 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140,
interested persons may submit a written
statement for consideration by the DSB
